Best places to dive with Splendid toadfish
Sanopus splendidus
A yellow-finned toadfish first described from Cozumel and frequently associated with the island's reef crevices. Later records extended its known range elsewhere in the Mexican Caribbean and Belize, so it is not strictly endemic to Cozumel.
